I CAN do this!!!

[shadoww]

Hi All  -   Thank you for your encouragement.  I am reading, reading, and more reading.  When I was diagnosed with throat cancer in Feburary of this year I actually stopped smoking for 14 days with the help of tootsie pops, of all things..  Treatment was scheduled to start in May at which time I told myself okay you will stop then, guess again.  I continued smoking thru chemo and radiation. Now how dumb is that!!  I'm not out of the woods yet, going for an MRI tomorrow as there was some suspicious activity on the Pet Scan and they want to see if cancer remains, or is it some left over radiaition.

Cigerettes not only rob us of our Health, but it is a time stealer as well.  When writing down my smoking times, I was seeing that it was all the time... Chain smoker...   No wonder I never got anything done  haha  

Again Thank you EX for being here for me -  like the train in the childrens book  "I think I can, I think I can" and I will!!  And for all of you just beginning like me I know you can too..  

Little info  - 60 yrs young - smoker for 40 years  - 2 daughters - three grandsons, 1 grandaughter
